Each system had its own way of working that allowed those Balancers and Watchers to be able to do their duties, but there were always going to be certain differences.
Even if they were the same, it could be said that the way of judging them in other areas would not be nearly as thorough and strict.
It was to be expected that people from further away from the capital, much further away from the influence of the Balancer Association and the other influences, would be of a much lower quality.
It would especially be the case if they were left to manage themselves and did not have the same resources and knowledge available to them.
Whatever they would be judged as in terms of their capabilities, it would not be accepted so easily.
It was the same for Sloane when he first arrived in the capital.
Everyone had to go through proper testing and evaluation before their capabilities could be properly accepted by those around them and above them.
